Thank-you for posting this! I stumbled upon your blog about a half a year ago and your story of adoption was one of the things that the Holy Spirit used to push us to adopt. Yesterday I was really in need of encouragement as I have been very discouraged by the major slow down with adoption in Ethiopia and that it might be 2-3 years before a child is in our home. Sometimes we just need a reminder again of why we are doing this and why it is so important, even if it is hard. Thank-you! Tanya Rowenhorst (Iowa)
